Thank goodness!!! I had to laugh at the prospect of him thinking he was going to get Franklin in trouble!!! Either way...he deserves a tiny treat!!!! So glad it worked out the way it did. If my Dora gets out...she is nearly impossible to catch. Once I thought my husband was going to have a heart attack trying to catch her. And once when she was very little, I ran in front of a car going down our street, cause the dummy was not going to stop while we were going to try and catch her!!

First, Good Boy Harvey!!!He is a Hero and obviously if he didn't care for Franklin, he could have kept quiet and let him get away.But I'm worried about that gate. Are you saying you think someone opened it while the Weenies were outside?Now that's frightening. Can you put a lock on the gate and also, how high is that fence? Maybe you need to put up a security camera, even if it's not really hooked up. And a sign posted. something like "All Trespasser's will be SHOT!"...oh! I am going to worry about this!

Nita, you should write children's books about your precious dogs! Seriously...Harvey would be the perfect main character. :)

When we lived in Edmond the gas meter reader would come through our yard. He was always scared of our dachshund, Molly. He told me that he remembered that dog. She never bit him but she made plenty of noise!

What a good boy!!! Our yard guy has left the gate open a few times and it was next to impossible to catch our two little doxies..they were running for it and not looking back. When I'd bend down to pick one up they'd get a burst of energy and run further out of my reach...what a heart starter! So happy yours are home safe and sound thanks to your little hero!

Maybe Franklin has become Harvey's dog. I love this story. It reminds of the time Tinker did that "hurry up and come see Momma!!" bark when Baby was having another siezure. Dogs are so smart. At least mine are....and Harvey is. Smooches for your pooches!:)~Ames

What a good boy! I'm so glad he came in and got you!!!! The meter reader used to leave our gate open which resulted in a few panic moments. Luckily we were always able to find the boys. Give those weenies a hug for me :o)~Des

Glad to hear they are all okay! Someone opened our gate and our Jack Russells (2) were no where to be found. A policeman found them on the BUSY street a FEW blocks from our home...and that was the next day!!! SCARY! That was a few years ago and it still gives me the "willies"...Deb

What a cute story. Love your dogs. You'll have to read about mine on the school bus. Just realized that Piper, the underweight dog, will get food out of his bowl in his mouth and drops it to the floor for his overweight little sister. These dogs just amaze me, don't they you.

YOu go Harvey. Momma owes you a nice steak bone! Funny they have such personalities. Sound to me like Harvey does like his new friend, he just didn't want to admit it. Know folks like that? Anyway, please put a lock on your fence. I would hate to see anything happen to your babies.

Awesome to hear about Harvey's heroics! I worry about the gate and it happening again. Little Franklin toddled off and Harvey knew it was a big no-no!! Its so cute and writing kids books is a great idea. I used to buy a series called Good Dog Carl for my little boys. It was about a Rotweiller named Carl and he would babysit the baby for the busy mom. It was the neatest series.

first of all THANK YOU!!! i miss my best friend Josieshe was with me 15 years and i too always knewhat she was thing and why she did certain tings and i just appreciate that to you they r more than dogs they r litttle four legged souls that really do know what id going on great post and u r very lucky u have him in ur life

Well done Harvey, what a hero! Years ago we had 5 cats (don't worry, we're dog lovers too!) and two of our little troublemakers got trapped in the boarded up house next door to us. Our usually aloof momcat Enya came and hassled us until we followed her to the house, hubby climbed in a window and found the lads looking very sorry for themselves. Enya, needless to say, never referred to the incident again!

Oh, I'm so proud of Harvey! And of Violet for not straying far so you only had Franklin to chase. So glad you heeded Harvey's call...sounds like the old Lassie shows! Yes, please try your hand at writing a book about your weenies and illustrating it. I bet you have enough stories for a whole series.
